As a Jew and a Rabbi, it's pretty clear to me that no faith, race or ethnicity is monolithic. 

For a journalist to point to any group – Jews, Muslims or Sikhs – as a 'Problem' often says nothing helpful or educational about the apparent target group, but says a lot about the writer and their own deep prejudice.  

So when Trevor Kavanagh wrote his sloppy article in the Sun last Sunday which requested his readership to consider the "Muslim Problem" well, just change Muslim to Jewish and that op-ed would have been a perfect fit for Der Stermur, the Nazi Tabloid of 1930's Germany.
 
You see, Trevor, words matter, because hate begins in op-ed pages like yours and spreads out like poison. 

When my friend, a Muslim woman, was assaulted in a crowded London station by three young men who ripped off her hijab and screamed: “f*** Muslims”, I imagine they were trying to 'solve' your Muslim Problem. 
 
Your concerns about specific criminal gangs of men, many of Asian descent, must be taken seriously. 

My own interfaith work with Muslim communities across the UK, reveals that Muslim leaders, lay and clergy alike, are working intently with law enforcement to report crime and dissuade young people from gang culture. 
 
These communities hate these gangs and want them eradicated just as much, if not more than you and I, because they are on the front lines each day.

Instead of alienating an entire faith as problematic, wouldn't it be wiser to work alongside those who are really seeking meaningful steps towards change? 

Instead of slurring them as a curse, isn't it wiser to find a refined approach that allows all to bring new vision and industry to the UK?  

How about instead your readership consider the 'Sloppy Journalism Problem"?
